Wow... lay off the coffee guys. :) We are talking about Arcade games here. It's not worth getting worked up over this.

BarBeQue 03-18-2004 09:10 AM

Or you edit your own post and delete it, leaving a msg that you deleted it... instead of making mods spend their time doing it for you ;)


Now to get back to the TOPIC.

I still have the highscore prob i explained in these 2 posts
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1532
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1533

2 installs on 2 forums, both smooth, 1 works 100% and one forks on highscore submit at random games/plays. So it's not the "i can never submit or do not have permission" prob that some users have and that has been tracked down and solved! It's the same problem 3 other users had and which none weren't able to track down (one fix with a vbb upgrade, one fix with that weird language change, but neither found out why it forked, and one who never was able to fix it)
Been looking at it for a week now, read the instructions over and over but still can't find it.
Could it be a conflict in php version or mysql version that causes this? Or the webserver software?

I'll prolly make a clean install of vbb once vbb3 gold is out, and apply the hack from scratch again, but since i can't figure the error out it's like the casino... gamble if that solves my problem. And even if it does i still won't know the casue hence another user faces the same situation of no solve if he faces this problem.

If anyone has any suggestion besides checking my code for the 10th time then please tell me!

<a href="http://forum.teamxbox.com" target="_blank">http://forum.teamxbox.com</a> - Over the weekend TXB will be upgrading to VB3 and is going to have this hack installed. They've got over 42,000 members.

What other big forums have VBArcade installed?

I find it incredibly asinine that you flaunt your "updates" and "honors" through a mailing list ("- v3 Arcade wins the first ever vBulletin.org Hack of the Month (for a vBulletin 3 hack) Thanks to everyone who voted! :) - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61385") - a mailing list that I didn't subscribe to, yet throughout this entire thread you offer no real support to people who need it. A third-grader could write a better install script than you have provided, but weeks have come and gone and you have failed to take initiative to correct something that should have never been released in the first place.

Reading through your posts, both here and at your site, it seems to me that you have created this hack not to provide a service to the vB community, but to make a name for yourself. When an author of a hack agrees to offer support, he obligates himself to address issues vB users have with the hack. If you don't want to offer support, that's fine... but don't be one of those "over-worked and under-appreciated" programmers who thinks the whole community should lick his ballz just because he "said so." If such a number of webmasters, people who obviously are somewhat html/php savvy, are having problems with your instructions, you may want to reconsider how clear your instructions are.

"Given that..." if it's fame that you're seeking, you may want to consider an attitude check as yours is one of the most childish and arrogant ones I've seen on the net in a while. If you genuinely want to offer something to the vB community, you need to learn that your way isn't always the right way and listen to the people who are using your hack. Even if you don't take their suggestions to heart, there's no need to be a prick about it. - "Doug, you haven't installed it properly then." I'm sure Doug appreciates the support. :disappointed:

Nikodemeus, let me quote Doug's original post:

Any help would be great as my forum will not load. :(

You already know my response. Now Doug's latest post:

People simply don't follow the instructions properly. By providing support for this hack, am I expected to check through everyone's installation line by line, looking for mistakes? In the majority of cases, people fix their own problems by double checking things - there's nothing I can do. But I recognise those who have geniune problems, and try to help them the best I can.

You were sent the email because you agreed to it when you registered on the site. Let me know if you want me to show you how to disable it, I'll write a tutorial with big pictures just for you. (How's that for tech support?)

And I think that's about it. Sorry Erwin, I felt I had to respond at least once on this.
Hopefully we won't have to put up with any more posts from this kid... :rolleyes:

I get that screen when i have more than 1 arcade page open, could that be the problem here?

psoexplorer 03-18-2004 05:16 PM

MAJOR PROBLEM!!

Scores have stopped uploading!

When users click on submit score, it sends them straight back to the arcade homepage!!

Any ideas what could have caused this?

Thanks

It's the first time I've every heard of this happening. Have you made any code changes recently or altered permissions?

That sounds like a problem with the FLASH not the programming since the PHP can't submit for you you need the flash to initiate it bro. Perhaps something on your computer is screwed up. But that couldnt be... it could never be your computer right.. ;)

heh anyways i would look at your BROWSER your using, then the flash your using. If anything, instead of reinstalling the hack.. try reinstalling your browser and flash version. Give that a shot. If all else fails, shoot your computer.

I tired looking as well, this looks like a MYSQL problem not a V3ARCADE problem. Perhaps your mysql has reached its limit bro, i have seen it many times when hosts put caps on queries and storage, better check to make sure you havent made any database changes.

But they upload when using Netscape or Opera....just not for IE users :ninja:

Lol, actually i can't be my computer, cause i don't have this problem myself :P
Not on my site and not on other peoples sites.

But a few of my users have it, and a few don't.
Hence your suggestion of browser and flash version may be good points.

I'll start a inquiry among my users how often it happens and what browser and flash version they use. Maybe i can track down the problem.

I'll even have some of the problem users try the arcade on John's site, and see if they experience the same problems there too. Cause his install is fine so if they get the same prob there then i know it's not my install.
Although it happens mostly on new highscores and john's site has quite high scores making it difficult to beat ;) Guess i'll look for a more inexperienced site's arcade instead, hehe.

scottct1 03-20-2004 01:30 AM

Is this running ok on the Gold Release?

BillaBongUSA 03-20-2004 03:26 AM

Yes. :)

Dukaver 03-20-2004 03:42 AM

I have a problem, none of my users (even me) can use the arcade.

When you click on a game it says "you did not have permision"

fonzerelli_79 03-20-2004 03:56 AM

grant members permissions in the admin cp

leozh 03-20-2004 04:58 AM

This is the error all of the users on my site get:

007, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Bigwrenn 03-20-2004 05:52 AM

I'm getting that also!

Marulatree 03-20-2004 06:25 AM

So then v3arcade is not ready for installing on GOLD?

nemesis01 03-20-2004 06:34 AM

I just installed this on "Gold", bloody nightmare deleting all the old database entries, I am the only one to test it so far because my board is closed for additional tweaking but it seems to be working fine.

Why did you have to delete all of the old database entries? If all you were doing was upgrading to Gold, then all you have to do is make the PHP file changes and upload them, then you're good to go. Mine works perfectly after the upgrade to Gold.

nemesis01 03-20-2004 07:11 AM

I didn't have to you are correct, I just wanted to start fresh with gold so everything went. It will give my members something else to do again anyway, getting all those old scores back.:)

I upgraded to Gold and re-installed the arcade, and everything's working just fine.

Marulatree, that has nothing to do with the Arcade. (Are you sure you haven't make any other file modifications in postings.php?)

Marulatree 03-20-2004 11:37 AM

Thanks, John...

It's just I thought it was Arcade related because of:

REPLACE INTO postindex
(wordid, postid, intitle, score)

I'm going to try reinstall the forum and then the arcade...sorry to be a pain in the ass

Feanor 03-20-2004 11:42 AM

Upgraded to Gold, no problems with the arcade, thanks very much!

scottct1 03-20-2004 11:43 AM

How do I clear all scores? I figure whie I am upgrading to Gold I might as well clear the score out and giving everyone a fresh start.

Thanks again John for a great hack!

Why? Postindex has nothing to do with the Arcade...?

Marulatree 03-20-2004 11:56 AM

It's the score part that gave it away...

REPLACE INTO postindex
(wordid, postid, intitle, score)

There is a score field in the postindex table by default. It has nothing to do with the Arcade.
